Suspension simulation and optimization
Correct suspension kinematics and compliance characteristics are very important toward improving overall behavior of your vehicle. There are several commonly performed tests to study suspension design factors.
- Kinematics and compliance test
- Static ride test
- Static roll test
- Static load case test
- Wheel envelope test
- Trim height and spring adjustment tests
Altair multibody tools have several in built features to help you make all these tests with relative ease.
Altair MotionView has a built-in extensible and customizable library of parametric systems:
- 5 front and 11 rear suspension topologies with several systems for rest of the components
- 10 suspension analyses to perform routine tests
- Built-in reports for standard tests
Altair MotionSolve computes more than 90 suspension design factors. These contain both kinematic factors as well as compliance matrix based factors.
Tuning of suspension factors is often very challenging as one change in a hardpoint can affect several factors. Users can use Altair HyperStudy to manage this daunting task by performing DOE, stochastic or optimization studies. |
